Nessus helps to know the vulnerability surface

  • October 13, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, to configure, you can trust in the vuln they found, they are where it say in any host, server or webservice you have scaned. Other thing is the number os assets you can scan is more than other where you have to pay per host number, in this you can pay for license and you can scan any number of host in your own network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is not easy to analize data from the reports and some times is teddious to find the plugin name or number to find the error or for example, to know if the credentials for the current scan is ok or no
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To know the host in the network (host discover), scan for vulnerabilities in the assets and the web services we have. All the information we need is given by Nessus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for the best vulnerability scanner for host, you have to try Nessus. If you want to know about credentials, blackbox scans, are part of red team or security at home or little bussines you can do a scan to know the vulnerabilities that have you infraestructure (all of them)

Leading web as well as mob applications weakness finding platform.

  • August 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the techniques used most widely for evaluating weakness. Scanning web applications, DB servers, network devices such as switches , routers, firewalls, and proxy servers is very efficient, which allows each system to operate one only for scanning vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.I can build scheduled credential jobs and have my hosts added. I know the work always runs and always produces the results that are needed. That helps me keep up with our organizational risks
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't noticed any dissatisfaction until now but the important thing is the cost where the cost is higher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think even for a beginner, Nessus 's quick to know. I use Nessus to find and evaluate vulnerabilities. It includes a comprehensive report and mitigation suggestions. My work with the Nessus was quick, and it delivers accurate results most of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this software to all Professionals in Information Security.

Nessus is one of the greatest vulnerability scanners on the platform, it has so many capabilities for security scans for web apps, network scans, enforcement scans and external security assessments that it has a high vulnerability detection rate and is ideal for security testers to identify vulnerabilities so quickly.One of the techniques used most widely for evaluating vulnerability. Scanning application servers, DB servers, network devices such as switches , routers, firewalls, and proxy servers is very powerful, which enables each system to run one only for scanning vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.i like this product because of the functionality and the high performance.

Leading platform for finding the loop holes from the network infrstructure.

  • August 13, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Computer upgrades are really simple and easy, likely due to the extreme shortage of problems or inconvenience my favorite software upgrade to. Most organizations use that in my experience and it's a standard technique no matter wherever I work. I feel it's a valid method with a wealth of useful information that can be used to improve the security environment of an organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus price is just too much given different market software. Nessus is susceptible to the development of false positives and therefore the testers need to put more effort and time into this.But I haven't noticed any dislike until now but the main thing is it's the cost. Where this product is to be purchased for all users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Nessus to check public and external and public measurements of risk and system compliance reports.
